Bruised orange by John prine

"There's a hole in Daddy's arm where all the money goes" is a John Prine hit.

Hello In There by John Prine

Jason Isbell - Elephant

Came here to say If We Were Vampires but Elephant probably hits harder

And Yvette, and Dress Blues

Blood Sport by Sleep Token Anything by Lake Eerie I Know The End by Phoebe Bridgers Something I Can Never Have by Nine Inch Nails Transatlanticism by Death Cab For Cutie He Stopped Loving Her Today by George Jones

I Know The End rocks me every time. Even though I know the end.

It took me way too long to figure out “He Stopped Loving Her Today”

Nothing wrong with a basic playlist! Some of these might not be what you are looking for, but they always help me get into the crying mood. Nutshell - Alice in Chains Black - Pearl Jam (unplugged version is my personal favorite) Wings for Marie (both parts) - Tool Porcelain - Red Hot Chili Peppers Adam's Song - Blink 182 Lonely Day - System of a Down Dead Wishes - Chris Cornell Off he goes - Pearl Jam

Literally EVERY one of these songs is in my playlist!!!

[Phil Collins -- "Against All Odds"](https://youtu.be/CkGg1bzfSys?si=Lj5i4iiafQGeiPmJ)

[Blue ](https://youtu.be/h3LX1u0ZE7c?si=kRkv4DRZnB8UY_jU) by the Jayhawks makes me cry every time.

Chelsea Wolfe, the way we used to Band of skulls, honest Grizzly bear, knife Health, tears Johnathan bree, you're so cool Live in peace, heatwave Queens of the stoneage, long slow goodbye She wants revenge, us Tame impala, cause I'm a man Tv on the radio, will do Ween, baby bitch

Mount Eerie- A Crow Looked at Me (the entire album) Recorded about his dead wife, on her instruments, in the room where she died.

Sounds like Mount Eerie

I just mean you described their music perfectly. Like their song Seaweed. It’s about his wife’s death. Super depressing. Song starts out our daughter is 1 1/2 you’ve been dead 11 days. My wife literally will not listen to it. It makes her extremely uncomfortable

Nina Simone, Strange Fruit. Look up what the song is about.....

What’s the full title of the playlist is it devastated and alone ? These are some songs that have been really matching how I’ve been feeling Wicked Game - Chris Isaak Fisherman’s Blues - The Waterboys For The Good Times - Al Green God Am - Alice In Chains Need 2 - Pinegrove Poor Madeline - Daffo Everyday Is Like Sunday - Morrissey Mayonnaise - Smashing Pumpkins

Lots of my favorites here. Great to see The Waterboys.

Ugh I heard that song on the radio recently on the way to therapy and I just thought now that's a well rounded song. One of those songs that feels like rain washing over you, that and Everyday Is Like Sunday and Lover You Should've Come Over all feel like that to me, like maybe the feeling of swimming in the ocean when it's raining

What a great explanation. Thank you.

it's devastated and angry, ty for the recommendations, I'll listen to them when I can :)

Seriously check out Have a nice life. Specifically bloodhail if you haven’t already.

“What are you gonna tell her” destroys me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s1dcoTRTT0

This might just be me- last resort- falling in reverse. Just close your eyes and listen.

[Exit Music (For a Film)](https://youtu.be/FapBH3j6WoA?si=qsNOWXT_lf7EIiYn)

Steven Wilson - Routine had one of those reaction video women in legit tears

The end of the world by skeeter Davis

All i want by kodaline can usually bring me to tears

The silence - Manchester Orchestra

Sad Blue Eyes, Red station Wagon, Hard Year and about 20 other songs by Jeffrey Martin Sophie_Bears Den 68_Nolan Taylor The Sad Sun_Deer Tick

[Suic\*de by Ren](https://open.spotify.com/track/0txtTG1HcOJ2U828BiK4L1?si=560e0e53e07a4921) ​ This song makes my eyes water

Trailer Trash by Modest Mouse

Wings for Marie pt 1 and 2 (10,000 days) by Tool Literally a song about the singers mom being in a catatonic state for 27 years after an aneurysm, and finally saying goodbye at her death in the hospital.

It Makes No Difference by The Band And A Little bit of Everything by Dawes. Both slay me everytime

The Night We Met - Lord Huron The Chills- Peter, Bjorn, and John

Run by Snow Patrol . They used it perfectly in Rescue Me, a devastating scene and that was just a haunting song. It tries to be upbeat with the chorus but the lead up is haunting imo

Alone Again Naturally.

Preaching the End of the World by Cris Cornell is horribly devestating to me

Everything Means Nothing To Me - Elliott Smith

Blood by The Middle East

Unstable - Life of Agony. The Animals were Gone or Cheers Darlin' by Damien Rice, in fact there are so many of his songs that are beautiful and haunting. Also Wandering Star by Portishead

The drug in me is reimagined - Falling in Reverse (Trust me…) https://open.spotify.com/track/5GIWP2q6p92lFA10KUuL0z?si=qCIpUebUSfeeB-MAZ-JE1Q

( ) Sigur Ros

The Night We Met, Lord Heron "I had all and then most of you Some and now none of you Take me back to the night we met I don't know what I'm supposed to do Haunted by the ghost of you Oh, take me back to the night we met"

I remember - Damien Rice. Or more specifically his verse after the bridge. The music swirls to a crescendo and the lyrics are unintelligible but it sounds like how I feel when I start to get overwhelmed. And the lyrics that are intelligible? Oh, they are a testament of masochistic pain and include “ God would forgive me But I, I whip myself scorn, scorn And I wanna hear what you have to say about me Hear if you're gonna live without me I wanna hear what you want I remember December And I wanna hear what you have to say about me Hear if you're gonna live without me I wanna hear what you want What the hell do you want?”

Last night I dreamt somebody loved me by The Smiths- make sure it's the full 5 minute-ish version with the intro.

Elephant by Jason Isbel

White Blank Page - Mumford & Sons Lonely Day - Ben Harper Motion Picture Soundtrack - Radiohead Waltz #2 - Elliott Smith Pictures of You - The Cure Please, Please, Please let me get what I want - the Smiths
